TESTIMONIALS

Dave Johnson is like a master pathologist looking through a microscope. He identifies one of the key drivers of inefficiency in US healthcare— a healthcare system, revolving around hospitals, that has exploited the generosity of public payments to become bloated and inefficient; large hospitals are cost-centers in search of revenue streams.
